Privacy policy

Medspa Maps (“Medspa Maps,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the information you provide when you visit or use our website. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may collect, how we use and share that information, and the choices you may have regarding your information.

By using Medspa Maps, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect information that you provide directly to us as well as certain information generated when you use our website.

• Treatments or conditions searched
• Search filters and preferences

If our website uses device-based location functionality, location information may also be processed according to your device or browser permissions.

• Date and time of visits

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Medspa Maps uses cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand how visitors use the website, improve performance, and provide a better user experience. This includes technologies provided by third parties, such as Google Analytics (website analytics) and advertising pixels such as the Google Ads and Meta (Facebook/Instagram) pixels, which help us measure the performance of our marketing and, in some cases, show you relevant ads on other websites or platforms (sometimes called “retargeting” or “cross-context behavioral advertising”).

These third-party analytics and advertising providers may collect information about your browsing activity on Medspa Maps and other websites through cookies or similar technologies, and may combine it with other information they have about you. As described below, this type of data sharing may be treated as a “sale” or “share” of personal information under certain state privacy laws, even though Medspa Maps does not receive any monetary payment for it.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies, and you can generally opt out of interest-based advertising through your browser settings, device settings, or industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org). Disabling certain cookies may affect how some portions of the website function.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate choices regarding non-essential cookies or similar technologies, such as a cookie banner or preference tool.

How We Use Information

We may use information collected through Medspa Maps to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve our website and directory
• Provide and improve search functionality
• Help users discover relevant medspas, treatments, and services
• Personalize search results and website experiences
• Process medspa listing requests
• Respond to questions, inquiries, or requests
• Analyze website traffic, usage, and performance
• Measure and improve the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing
• Maintain the security and integrity of our website
• Develop new features and improve existing services
• Comply with applicable legal requirements

How We May Share Information

We may share information with third parties when reasonably necessary to operate and improve Medspa Maps. These parties may include service providers that support website hosting, analytics, advertising, security, communications, or other business operations, such as Google Analytics and advertising platforms operated by Google and Meta.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, security, or safety of Medspa Maps, our users, or others, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

Medspa Maps does not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for money. However, because we allow certain analytics and advertising partners to collect information through cookies and similar technologies on our website (see “Cookies and Tracking Technologies” above), this activity may be considered a “sale” or “share” of personal information under some state privacy laws. See “Your Privacy Rights” below for information about your choices.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide certain rights regarding your personal information.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), gives you certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Know what personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, or sold/shared about you, and why
• Delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions
• Correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you
• Opt out of the “sale” or “share” of your personal information, including for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information, where applicable
• Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your privacy rights

In the preceding 12 months, we may have “sold” or “shared” (as those terms are defined under the CCPA) identifiers, internet or network activity, and geolocation-type information (such as ZIP code or city) with analytics and advertising partners for the purposes described above. We do not sell or share the personal information of individuals we know to be under 16 years of age.

To opt out of the “sale” or “share” of your personal information, you may adjust your cookie preferences through our website’s cookie tool (where available), change your browser or device settings, or contact us using the information in “Contact Us” below. Where technically feasible, we will honor opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), as a valid request to opt out of sale/sharing for the browser or device sending the signal.

To exercise your right to know, delete, or correct, please contact us as described in “Contact Us” below. We will need to verify your identity before completing certain requests, and you may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf in accordance with applicable law.

Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain other states (for example, under laws such as the Utah Consumer Privacy Act and similar laws in other states) may have rights that are similar to those described above, such as the right to access, delete, or correct personal information, and to opt out of certain targeted advertising or profiling, to the extent those laws apply to Medspa Maps. Where applicable, you may exercise these rights using the contact information below.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is not yet a common industry standard for responding to DNT signals, our website does not currently respond differently based on a browser’s DNT signal, but we do honor GPC signals for opt-out of sale/share requests as described above.

The availability and scope of the rights described in this section depend on applicable law and may not apply to all users.

Health-Related Search Information

Because Medspa Maps helps users search for aesthetic and wellness treatments, search terms you enter (such as a treatment or condition) may relate to health or wellness topics. Medspa Maps is not a healthcare provider, is not a HIPAA-covered entity, and does not maintain medical records. We do not knowingly use treatment or condition search terms to identify a specific individual’s health condition, but if you are concerned about the sensitivity of a search term, you may choose not to enter it.

Third-Party Websites and Booking Services

Medspa Maps contains links to independent medspas, provider websites, booking platforms, and other third-party websites or services.

When you select a link such as a practice website or booking option, you may leave Medspa Maps and interact directly with a third party. Those third parties operate independently from Medspa Maps and may collect information according to their own privacy policies and practices.

Medspa Maps is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or data practices of third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing our services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and satisfying applicable legal requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information under our control. However, no website, electronic transmission, or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored through Medspa Maps.

Children’s Privacy

Medspa Maps is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16.

If we become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected through our website, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as appropriate.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to Medspa Maps, our practices, or applicable requirements.

When we make changes, we may update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
